Seed price and planting method of ginger

Ginger, also known as white ginger, Sichuan ginger, etc., is a perennial herb of Zingiberaceae. It is native to the tropical regions of Southeast Asia and is widely cultivated in central, southeastern and southwestern China. It is particularly famous for the ginger produced in Shandong Anqiu, Shandong Changyi, Shandong Laiwu and Shandong Pingdu Daze Mountain. Let's take a look at the seed price and planting method of ginger.

How much is the ginger seed per jin?

The price of ginger seeds is about 812 yuan per jin, but it varies according to the quality, variety, origin and market of ginger seeds. Ginger propagates asexually without seeds. Several adventitious roots, small lateral roots and fleshy roots can be produced from the stems of young buds after ginger is planted, and several fleshy roots can also be produced from ginger mother and seed ginger after entering the vigorous growth period. these fleshy roots also have a certain absorptive capacity, and the amount of seeds used per mu is about 800 to 1000 jin.

What kinds of ginger do you have?

3. Laiwu turmeric: the local variety of Laiwu City, Shandong Province, has a tall plant and strong growth potential, with a general plant height of 80 cm and a rhizome weight of 350 kg. The yield is usually about 2000 kg per mu, and the high-yield field can reach 3500 kg.

4. Tongling white ginger: the local variety in Tongling area of Anhui Province is widely cultivated in Anhui Province, with medium spicy taste and good quality. the weight of rhizome per plant is 450-650g, the yield per mu is 1000 kg, and the highest is 2400 kg.

5. Sichuan bamboo root ginger: Sichuan local variety, the plant is about 70 cm high, the rhizome is irregular palmate, the meat is crisp and tender, the fiber is few, and the quality is excellent. Generally, the rhizome weight per plant can reach 25000g, and the yield per mu is about 2500 kg.

Cultivation conditions of Ginger

1. Temperature: ginger is native to the tropical regions of Southeast Asia, likes warm and humid climate, has weak cold and drought resistance, and can only grow in frost-free period. the most suitable temperature for growth is 25-28 ℃, and when the temperature is below 20 ℃, it germinates slowly.

2. Light: ginger is shady but not resistant to strong sunshine, and the requirements for the length of sunshine are not strict, so shade sheds should be built or crops should be properly shaded during cultivation to avoid strong sunlight.

3. Moisture: the root system of ginger is underdeveloped, and its drought and waterlogging resistance is poor, so it pays special attention to the requirement of water. During the growth period, too dry or too wet soil is disadvantageous to the growth and expansion of ginger, which can easily cause disease and rot.

4. Soil: ginger likes fertile and loose loam or sandy loam, grows poorly in clayey, moist low-lying land, and does not grow well in barren land with poor water retention. It needs the most potash fertilizer, followed by nitrogen fertilizer and phosphorus fertilizer.

Sowing method of ginger

1. Sowing time: the sowing time of ginger is generally from late April to early May, and it is harvested before frost. because ginger likes warmth and is not resistant to cold and frost, it must be planted in sunny and warm weather in the warm and frost-free season.

2. Optimized ginger: after harvest, the ginger with fat, full head, uniform size, bright color, disease-free, insect-free, rot-free, damage-free and unfrozen ginger was selected for ginger seed storage.

3. Disinfection and sprouting: soak the ginger with 50% carbendazim 500 times solution before sowing and bask in the sun for 2 to 3 days. When the surface of the ginger block shines, it can be stacked, covered with straw for heat preservation and sprouting, and the ginger bud can be sown when the ginger bud grows to 1 cm.

4. Apply sufficient base fertilizer: the growth period of ginger is long, and base fertilizer should be applied adequately. 3000 kg of mature organic fertilizer and 25 kg of potash fertilizer should be used as base fertilizer per mu during soil preparation, and 15 kg urea and 25 kg compound fertilizer should be used as seed fertilizer per mu when sowing.

5. Sowing time: the sowing time of ginger is only due to the ground. Those with good irrigation conditions, high temperature and no sprouting are sowing, and those without irrigation conditions and low temperature need to be sown before and after the Qingming Festival or Grain Rain.

6. Sowing density: the sowing density of ginger is generally about 5500 seedlings per mu, and the amount of seeds per mu is 800,000kg. The bigger the ginger is, the earlier the seedlings emerge, the stronger the seedlings are, and the higher the yield is, so the seed blocks should be as large as possible.

Planting method of ginger

1. Intermediate ploughing and weeding: ginger is generally ploughed twice after seedling emergence combined with watering, and weeds are cleared in time, the plants are gradually closed during the vigorous growth period, and the number of weeds is reduced, so the method of manual weeding can be used to weed. Pollution-free ginger production is best without herbicides.

2. Timely watering: ginger is not resistant to drought or waterlogging, and has strict requirements for water. It is appropriate to keep the soil moist during the growing period, and water should be watered in time during the period of high temperature in summer. Rain Water should rule out stagnant water in the field in time to reduce the occurrence of ginger plague.

3. Reasonable topdressing: 20 kg urea per mu is applied when ginger seedlings are 30 cm high, and clear manure water can also be used to irrigate the seedlings. Before and after the Beginning of Autumn, 50 kg compound fertilizer and 25 kg potassium sulfate are applied per mu, and 10 kg urea and 15 kg potassium sulfate are applied per mu when the underground rhizome expands.

4. Cultivate the soil in time: the rhizome of ginger grows in the soil, which requires darkness and moisture, and needs to cultivate the soil. Generally, after the Beginning of Autumn, it is combined with pulling grass and fertilizing to cultivate the soil for 2 or 3 times, gradually turning the sowing ditch into a ridge to prevent the rhizome from exposing to the surface.

5. Shading and cooling: ginger is a plant that likes shade and is not tolerant to high temperature and strong light, so shading should be carried out during summer growth to promote growth. There are many shading methods, which can be used for shading or intercropping with tall stalk crop corn.

6. pest control: when ginger rot occurs, remove the diseased plant, dig out the soil with disease-carrying bacteria, spread lime in the disease hole, and fill it with clean aseptic soil. the spot disease is sprayed with 50% chlorothalonil 800 times every 7-10 days. Ginger borer and ginger maggots are controlled with trichlorfon or phoxim.
